It manifests (as anger and resentment) towards his senpais, the company, other people outside of [the promotion?]. It's the reason he wrestles. There are people who don't want to see him doing what he wants, so he continues doing what he wants.

"That's the wrestling of OZAWA."

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

It's not his goal. He just wants to do what he wants to do. He wrestles because he's frustrated/angry. Anger and resentment are the driving powers behind what he does. It's difficult to put into words but it's his "reality". What drives him forward on the inside are anger and resentment.

He says as champion he plans on doing whatever he pleases, Inoue says he feels like OZAWA is going to be the future face of wrestling and asks if OZAWA is ready for that, and OZAWA says no, he has no interest at all.

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

Inoue says it's not about killing your (inner) self in wrestling, it's about expressing who you truly are through wrestling, and OZAWA agrees.

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

It's not about dissing someone's style, but if he, as someone who has no background in MA, did matches that were just a bunch of submission moves it wouldn't be interesting for anyone. And making the best out of what he carried with him led to him adapting this style he has now.

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

What [the promoters] told him the most was to "just get the crowd hot". So he feels like in Japan he learned the basics of the "fight" whereas abroad he learned the basics of "entertainment".

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

So he was really happy when it was decided he would do an excursion. He felt like he had "been set free". He wrestled in the UK, Germany, France and Italy. It was the first time (since making his debut) that he enjoyed wrestling.

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

Specifically, the interpersonal relationships are rough (the harsh older/senior peers stand above younger/inexperienced ones system), and he thought he'd be treated differently once he made his debut, but he continued to be treated like the dojo trainees.

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

[...] Next, Inoue asks how he feels having become a wrestler in such a traditional promotion as NOAH, and OZAWA says he was dejected because he had fulfilled his dream but it now wrestling wasn't fun.

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

Inoue asks if he then was able to keep up with the training at NOAH once he joined, and OZAWA says the 500, 1000 squats or pushups weren't a problem, but the bumping/ukemi was tough because he had never done that properly. It took a year and 2 months [to learn everything].

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

It was a relaxed promotion where he could do what he wanted, and he debuted shortly after doing bumps a couple times at some street festival or other, where they were putting on a free show. The people in the promotion weren't of the serious "pro wrestling is life" type because they all had day jobs

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

The reason he went to watch Matsue DanDan Pro is because one of the guys who came to the gym he worked part time at was one of their wrestlers, and when they talked he invited OZAWA to come watch them (and later OZAWA asked him if he could join).

joetranslates.bsky.social @joetranslates.bsky.social · Feb 4

Inoue remarks that all of it, the long jump, gymnastics and breakdancing, would be reflected later in his wrestling, and OZAWA muses that he's leaning towards artistic expression (instead of something like MMA, which he didn't do at all).
